WAR SECRETARIES.

The New York Mail and Express is
of the opinion that the practice of ap-
pointing civilians to the Office of secre-
tary of war is of very doubtful propriety.
That is a reasonable view to take of it.
and yet the limited experience the gov
eminent has had with war secretaries
who were military men, is not particu-
larly encouraging. 1t certainly was not
so in BELKNAP'S case. it is natural
that man with military education and
training should have better idea of the
military necessities of the country than
man whose whole life had been de-
voted to civil pursuits. And yet there
are reasons why civilian, possessed of
fine executive ability, is better suited
for the head of a department., such as
the war bureau, than professional SOL
dier would be. The soldiers life has
been in groove. He is disqualified for
everything outside of that particular
rut in which his whole career has been
running. There are great many
departments of business connected
with the war bureau which have no re-
lation to matters requiring the exclusive
services of all individual with military
training. And then again, while the
main trouble between the officers of the
army and the secretary of war grow out
of the indisposition of the former to re-
Spect the opinions of citizens on purely
military matters, it is also true that the
jealouSies which exist among the army
officers, would make it almost impos-
Sible for any one officer to act as arbiter
between the others. A civilian can do
this better than professional soldier
could. The proper place for the soldier
is in the field and he ought to be recon-
ciled to let the civilian fill the cabinet
places.
